Title: A dock leveller
Inventor: ELLICKSON DOMINIC JOSEPH
IPC: B65G69/28
Filed: 1982-11-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to a dock leveller suitable for operating in a hazardous environment. Essentially, the dock leveller comprises a framework (3, 4) engagable with a loading bay (2). A deck (8) pivotal at its edge 9 on the framework (3, 4) is tiltable by a ram (12) to raise and lower the deck (8) to accommodate varying heights of truck body. The ram (12) is powered by an accumulator (18) in a pre-pressurized closed hydraulic circuit through a one-way valve (32). A linkage mechanism, through a handle (50), operates the valve (32), to raise the deck (8). The deck (8) is lowered by the weight of a man standing thereon, which causes the valve (32) to open. <IMAGE>

Title: Programmable read-only memory and associated method of manufacture
Inventor: CONNER GEORGE WILLIAM
IPC: H01L27/102
Filed: 1983-04-08
Abstract: A semiconductor PROM contains a group of PROM cells (12) each consisting of a pair of opposing diodes oriented vertically with their common intermediate region (22 and 24) fully adjoining a recessed oxide insulating region (16). The PN junction (30) of the upper diode of each pair lies in polycrystalline semiconductor material. A composite buried layer consisting of buried regions (32) which adjoin the insulating region below the lower cell regions (20) and a buried web (44) which laterally surrounds each buried region is employed to improve programming efficiency as well as provide intermediate electrical connections. In fabricating the PROM, the insulating region serves as a mask to define the lateral extent of the dopant utilized to define the lower diodes. <IMAGE>

Inventor: BARRY BRIAN
IPC: F01D5/20
Filed: 1984-03-10
Abstract: An unshrouded turbine rotor blade for use particularly in gas turbine engines comprises an aerofoil 32 which has a recess at its radially outer extremity. The recess 36 is defined by a peripheral wall 46, and a number of transverse walls 56, 58 (60) extend across the recess 36 and intersect the mean chord line of the aerofoil 32 and divide the recess 36 into a number of chambers 48, 50, 52, (54).

Title: Production of polypeptide
Inventor: YOKOTA TAKASHI
IPC: C12N15/27
Filed: 1984-10-02
Abstract: Plasmid vectors are provided that carry complementary DNA (cDNA) clones coding for polypeptides exhibiting mammalian multi-lineage growth cell activity. One of these polypeptides is 166 amino acids in length, including a potential leader sequence of about 19 amino acids. The cDNA is derived from messenger RNA isolated from a mouse T-cell line after activation with concanavalin A. The cDNA was cloned by incorporation into a plasmid vector, which was then transformed into E. coli. The plasmid vector also contains DNA segments from the SV40 virus, permitting expression of the cDNA after transfection into a mammalian host cell, such as monkey COS-7 cells.
